DETAILED DESCRIPTION

Hereinafter a conductive connection structure, a multifunctionalhigh-voltage connector and a battery product according to the presentdisclosure will be described in detail in combination with the figures.

A battery product according to the present disclosure comprises abattery assembly (not shown), a box (not shown) and a multifunctionalhigh-voltage connector 1. The battery assembly is accommodated in thebox and comprises a plurality of batteries, the multifunctionalhigh-voltage connector 1 is fixedly mounted to the box and electricallyconnected to the battery assembly.

Referring to FIG. 1 to FIG. 4, the multifunctional high-voltageconnector 1 may comprise an upper cover 11, a pedestal 12, a conductiveconnection structure 13, two mating terminals 14 and a harness assembly15. The upper cover 11 and the pedestal 12 are detachably assembled. Theconductive connection structure 13 is fixedly mounted to the upper cover11. The two mating terminals 14 are spaced apart from each other in alength direction L, and each of the mating terminals 14 is fixedlymounted to the pedestal 12. The harness assembly 15 is fixedly mountedto the pedestal 12 and directly connected to one of the mating terminals14.

The multifunctional high-voltage connector 1 is fixedly mounted to thebox via the pedestal 12 and electrically connected to the batteryassembly via the other of the mating terminals 14 (which is opposite tothe mating terminal 14 directly connected to the harness assembly 15),thus the multifunctional high-voltage connector 1 is connected into ahigh-voltage circuit in the battery product. When the upper cover 11 andthe pedestal 12 of the multifunctional high-voltage connector 1 areassembled, the conductive connection structure 13 is simultaneously incontact with the two mating terminals 14, and at this time the twomating terminals 14 are connected in series, thereby turning on thehigh-voltage circuit in the battery product. When the battery productrequires maintenance, the upper cover 11 is directly detached from thebase 12, and at this time the conductive connection structure 13 isseparated from the two mating terminals 14, thereby turning off thehigh-voltage circuit in the battery product. Moreover, the batteryproduct can be electrically connected to an external device (such asanother battery pack or a high-voltage cartridge) via the harnessassembly 15 of the multifunctional high-voltage connector 1. Therefore,the multifunctional high-voltage connector 1 integrates both a switchfunction and a high-voltage connection function.

The conductive connection structure 13 and the two mating terminals 14are equivalent to a switch function component, the harness assembly 15is equivalent to a high-voltage connection function component, andbecause the high-voltage connection function component is directlyelectrically connected with the switch function component, theconnection resistance in the high voltage circuit of the battery productis greatly reduced; and because the high-voltage connection functioncomponent and the switch function component share the same pedestal 12,the space occupied by the multifunctional high-voltage connector 1 inthe battery product is reduced and the integration of the batteryproduct is improved.

Referring to FIG. 2, FIG. 3, FIG. 6 and FIG. 8, the conductiveconnection structure 13 of the multifunctional high-voltage connector 1may comprise: a main body portion 131; and two conductive connectionportions 132 respectively positioned at both ends of the main bodyportion 131 in the length direction L, and each of the conductiveconnection portions 132 is connected to the main body portion 131. Whenthe upper cover 11 and the pedestal 12 are assembled, the two conductiveconnection portions 132 of the conductive connection structure 13 arerespectively inserted into the two mating terminals 14.

In an embodiment, the conductive connection structure 13 may be anone-piece structure (that is a whole piece of connection sheet), theconductive connection portion 132 of the conductive connection structure13 directly protrudes from the main body portion 131 in a heightdirection H and may be integrally formed with the main body portion 131,as shown in FIG. 3 and FIG. 8. At this time, the conductive connectionstructure 13 and the two mating terminals 14 are only equivalent to theswitch function component for turning off or turning on the high-voltagecircuit in the battery product.

In another embodiment, the conductive connection structure 13 can be afuse, as shown in FIG. 2 and FIG. 6. Because the fuse has a self-fusingfunction, it can provide an overload protection for the high-voltagecircuit in the battery product. Therefore, the multifunctionalhigh-voltage connector 1 not only integrates the switch function and thehigh-voltage connection function, but also has a circuitoverload-protection function, thereby further improving the integrationof the battery product.

When the conductive connection structure 13 is the fuse, referring toFIG. 2 and FIG. 6, the main body portion 131 of the conductiveconnection structure 13 may comprise: a tube body having openings formedat both ends in the length direction L; and a conductive fusing body(not shown) accommodated in the tube body via the opening. When thecurrent in the high-voltage circuit of the battery product isexcessively large, the conductive fusing body of the conductiveconnection structure 13 generates sufficient heat under the action ofthe excessively large current and fuses itself, thereby achieving theover-current protection for the battery product.

Referring to FIG. 2 and FIG. 6, the conductive connection portion 132 ofthe conductive connection structure 13 is an independent connectionsheet structure and needs to be assembled with the tube body and theconductive fusing body of the main body portion 131. Specifically, theconductive connection portion 132 may have: a first contact segment 1321connected to the conductive fusing body and sealing a correspondingopening of the tube body; a second contact segment 1322 spaced apartfrom the first contact segment 1321 in the length direction L andextending in the height direction H; and a transitional connectionsegment 1323 positioned between the second contact segment 1322 and thefirst contact segment 1321 and connected with the second contact segment1322 and the first contact segment 1321. When the upper cover 11 and thepedestal 12 of the multifunctional high-voltage connector 1 areassembled, the second contact segment 1322 of each of the conductiveconnection portions 132 of the conductive connection structure 13 isdirectly inserted into the corresponding mating terminal 14 to turn onthe high-voltage circuit in the battery product.

In order to facilitate the assembling of the fuse, generally, theconventional fuse is additionally provided with a package plate to sealthe opening of the tube body, and at this time a part of the conductiveconnection portion of the fuse needs to pass through the package plateand extend into the tube body so as to be connected with the conductivefusing body, or a part of the conductive fusing body passes through thepackage plate and extends out of the tube body so as to be connectedwith the conductive connection portion. In the multifunctionalhigh-voltage connector 1 of the present disclosure, referring to FIG. 2and FIG. 6, because the first contact segment 1321 of each of theconductive connection portions 132 of the conductive connectionstructure 13 directly seals the corresponding opening of the tube body,therefore it is not necessary to additionally provide the package plate,thereby making the structure of the conductive connection structure 13simple and the volume of the conductive connection structure 13 small,reducing the assembling steps, and improving the space utilization ofthe multifunctional high-voltage connector 1. Moreover, when the uppercover 11 and the pedestal 12 of the multifunctional high-voltageconnector 1 are assembled, the second contact segment 1322 of each ofthe conductive connection portions 132 of the conductive connectionstructure 13 is directly inserted into the corresponding mating terminal14, therefore it is not necessary to use an adapter sheet to connect theconductive connection structure 13 and the mating terminal 14, therebyfurther reducing the connection resistance in the high-voltage circuitof the battery product.

The first contact segment 1321 is fixedlyconnected to the tube body of the main body portion 131 with the firstconnection hole 13212 and the second connection hole 13213.

The first contact segment 1321 may be fixedly connected to the tube bodyof the main body portion 131 by a fastener S (such as a bolt). In orderto ensure the heat dissipation of the conductive connection structure 13itself, the tube body may be made of a ceramic material.

Eachconductive connection portion 132 and the main body portion 131 of theconductive connection structure 13 are accommodated in the inner shell112 via the opening of the inner shell 112, the insulation sheet 113isolates the conductive connection structure 13 from the outer shell 111at the opening of the inner shell 112. Here, the outer shell 111, theinner shell 112 and the insulation sheet 113 are separately molded andthen assembled together, which replaces the conventional molding processof double injection, thereby simplifying the production process of themultifunctional high-voltage connector 1, improving the productionefficiency, and reducing the weight.

In order to ensure the heat dissipation of the upper cover 11, the outershell 111 may be made of a metal material, the inner shell 112 may beprovided with a plurality of through holes.

The first receiving portion1121 and the second receiving portion 1122 of the inner shell 112 arecommunicated with the opening of the inner shell 112, the firstreceiving portion 1121 receives the main body portion 131 of theconductive connection structure 13, the second receiving portion 1122receives the corresponding conductive connection portion 132, and theextending portion 1123 is fixedly connected to the outer shell 111.

Referring to FIG. 11 to FIG. 14, FIG. 16 and FIG. 17, the insulationsheet 113 may have: an isolating portion 1131 extending in the widthdirection W; and a fixing portion 1132 positioned on one side of theisolating portion 1131 in the width direction W and extending in theheight direction H.

Referring to FIG. 15, a recessed groove 11221 is provided on one side ofthe second receiving portion 1122 facing the outer shell 111. The fixingportion 1132 of the insulation sheet 113 is inserted into thecorresponding recessed groove 11221 and fitted with the recessed groove11221 so as to be fixed to the inner shell 112.

Referring to FIG. 11 to FIG. 14, FIG. 16 and FIG. 17, the insulationsheet 113 may further have: a plurality of supporting portions 1133extending in the height direction H and disposed opposite to the fixingportion 1132, and the supporting portion 1133 is supported between theisolating portion 1131 and the outer shell 111. Here, the plurality ofsupporting portions 1133 increase the electrical gap between theconductive connection structure 13 and the outer shell 111, whichimproves the safety of use of the multifunctional high-voltage connector1. In order to further improve the heat dissipation of the upper cover11, a heat conductive material, such as a heat conductive adhesive or aheat conductive pad, may be filled between the conductive connectionstructure 13 and the outer shell 111.

Referring to FIG. 17, the fixing portion 1132 of the insulation sheet113 may be provided as two in number, and the two fixing portions 1132are respectively formed on both sides of the isolating portion 1131 inthe width direction W.

Referring to FIG. 8, theinsulation sheet 113 may be provided as four in number and disposed intwo pairs, the two pairs of insulation sheets 113 are spaced apart fromeach other in the length direction L. The two insulation sheets 113 ofeach pair are disposed facing each other in the width direction W andrespectively cover both ends of the conductive connection structure 13in the width direction W. In other words, the four insulation sheets 113are distributed at four corners of the conductive connection structure13, and thus isolate the entire conductive connection structure 13 fromthe outer shell 111, which not only meets the requirements of theinsulating protection design, but also reduces the weight of themultifunctional high-voltage connector 1.

Referring to FIG. 18 to FIG. 25, each of the mating terminals 14 maycomprise: two elastic sheets 141 disposed facing each other in thelength direction L; and a connection sheet 142.
